Huang Wu chuckled, with a bit of pride on his face, and said as if to demonstrate his merit——
"Reporting to my lord - when this person was alive, he had extraordinary conversation and was quite knowledgeable. He must have been a high-ranking official in Chu State."
"Now that he died in Song Dynasty, his family must want to take his body back for burial."
"My subordinates spread the word, and then secretly set up an ambush. Sure enough, they caught a dozen idiots who came to steal the body... They are currently being interrogated, but unfortunately no clues have been found yet."
Xiong Wuliang perked up and said, "Take me to have a look."
Huang Wu led Xiong Wuliang into a dungeon. The light here was dim, his nose was full of the smell of rotten grass, and there were mottled blood stains on the walls.
More than a dozen prisoners were separated into different cells. As they patrolled, they were all stained with blood... Obviously, Qingyu Guard was not easy on them.
Huang Wu smiled awkwardly: "These... are all dead soldiers, so it's really difficult to interrogate them."
"The care was negligent a few days ago, and two of them committed suicide."
Xiong Wuliang raised his eyebrows and suddenly smiled: "Tomorrow it will be the Black Feather Guards who will interrogate."
"The Black Feather Guards and the Green Feather Guards will judge each other alternately on a twelve-hour cycle."
"I'll see who can examine the confession."
Silly kids, roll up.
…
Xiong Wuliang's trick was obviously very effective. Two or three days later, Yin Yu's Black Feather Guards interrogated the first confession... I don't know what method the sinister scholar used. Anyway, the confession tape was submitted There were large stains of blood, and the gaps between Yin Yu's fingers were filled with dark red flesh.
Xiong Wuliang took a look at the confession and sneered.
Sure enough, these dozen men are all slaves of the Zhao family!
The identity of the corpse is even more astonishing - it is said to be Zhaoju's eldest son and the predecessor of Chu State, Zuo Yin Zhaoshu.
Also, looking at the entire Chu State, Lao Zhaoju is the only political opponent with such insight and courage.
Xiong Wuliang did not doubt the authenticity of this confession... but this confession, which was extracted under severe torture, and an unrecognizable corpse... were obviously not enough evidence to bring down Zhaoju.
Xiong Wuliang's thoughts turned, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he slowly uttered two words: "Class teacher."
…
The 70,000-strong Chu army returned home.
This campaign took a long time - from Xiong Wuliang's first attack on Qinan through the Song Dynasty; to the Song Dynasty's back stabbing and sea battle to annihilate the Laizhou navy; to the attack on the Song Dynasty, and finally to the Qinan attack again …
More than half a year has passed.
His military exploits are also quite remarkable——
In the great battle in Qinnan, 60,000 Qi troops were annihilated;
Battle at sea, completely annihilating Qi's Laizhou navy;
In the battle to destroy Song Dynasty's Fu Lisi, with the advantage of "Heavenly Fire", he defeated 80,000 Song troops and took advantage of the victory to pursue and destroy the Song Dynasty;
Attacking Qinnan again, Wucheng beheaded and captured 20,000 Qi troops alive in the first battle, defeated 60,000 Qi troops in Mengshan, and then captured the entire Qinnan area, effectively coordinating the great victory on the Jishui battlefield.
All in all - outstanding military exploits and great reputation!
The soldiers who went out to fight, whether they were 10,000 Quyang new troops or 60,000 garrison soldiers, were all smiling.
They only suffered minor casualties, but achieved great results... The most important thing is that everyone got a lot of loot.
Song and Qi were both world-famous Yin and wealthy countries.
The bowl is full!
Such a large army is naturally high-spirited all the way, and the troops and horses are magnificent and powerful.
Xiong Wuliang ordered Shaohu to return directly to the fiefdom with 10,000 new troops, leaving Zhao Hua and his soldiers with him, and led 60,000 troops straight to the direction of Yingdu.
Entering the realm of [Yunmengze], Xiong Wuliang handed over the military talisman and temporarily stationed 60,000 garrison soldiers in the Yunmeng camp - even if he gained the trust of King Chu Huai, he would certainly not be allowed to bring 60,000 soldiers with him. The armed troops went straight back to the royal capital.
Xiong Wuliang went straight to Yingdu with only a group of generals and some hundred commanders and commanders who had made great contributions in previous battles. On the way, he was treated like a hero by the people of Yingdu——
"The Marquis of Quyang will be victorious! The Chu army will be victorious!"
"Long live Dachu!"
"Long live the king!"
…
The people of Yingdu lined the streets to welcome him and cheered loudly from the bottom of their hearts.
"Which one is Xiong Wuliang?"
"That's the one, the one standing on the bronze chariot!"
"Hiss... you are so young... you still look fair and clean."
"You should not be judged by appearance - this is a warrior who has never been defeated in several battles...Have you heard of the 'Sky Fire' he summoned?"
"I heard that in the battle of Chuisha last year, although the prince was nominally in command, the victory was actually all fought by Qu Yanghou - the prince was just a spectator."
"Is this happening?"
There are also young girls who have just begun to fall in love and are nymphomaniacs, with eyes full of stars: "So handsome!"
"Marquis Quyang is so young, I thought he was an old man."
"I wonder if you are married yet?"
Someone immediately poured cold water on them and threatened: "Marquis Quyang chopped off 60,000 heads in the battle of Qinan. Do you know what the concept is? The piles are as high as a hill. It scares all you Huaichun women to death."
Prince Mi Heng, on the order of the king, went out of the city to greet him in person. Hearing the people of Yingdu discussing the process and results of Xiong Wuliang's several battles... he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
Now, this king's younger brother has truly become a blockbuster.
He is no longer the little playboy who needed to be protected by himself.
Am I really not as good as him?
Not willing to give in! Not willing to give in!
"Brother Wang has achieved another glorious military exploit. I am very happy for you." The prince slightly cupped his hands towards Xiong Wuliang who jumped off the bronze chariot and said dryly.
The two exchanged a few words, but Xiong Wuliang didn't notice anything was wrong with Mi Heng's condition.
Then, he went straight into the palace.
However, Xiong Wuliang ordered a few soldiers to carry a heavy-looking wooden box, and he didn't know what it contained.
…
In the palace, there were lanterns and colorful decorations, and the whole place was filled with joy.
All the ministers gathered together, waiting for Xiong Wuliang, the Marquis of Quyang, who was the victorious master, to enter the palace to see him.
King Chu Huai sat on the main throne with a smile on his face.
At this moment, he is in high spirits!
The series of beautiful battles fought by my great nephew really greatly increased the prestige of our Chu country in front of all the countries in the world!
Who dares to underestimate me, Dachu?
Today's Qi State exists in name only; Qin's civil war has just ended and its vitality has not yet recovered; although Yan State is suddenly strong and powerful, it also lacks the foundation...
I’m the only one who’s great! Faintly overwhelming all the heroes in the world, it has the momentum of being the most powerful country!
I am worthy of being a once-in-a-century hero of the Chu Kingdom!
Expand your territory! The whale swallowed the Song Dynasty!
Form an alliance with Qin and defeat the enemy!
Attack Qi! Destroy this powerful neighbor!
As expected of me!
King Huai of Chu's ambitions also suddenly expanded - in the past, he was just waiting to die, but he really couldn't defeat Qin and Qi. Now the world has changed, and labor and capital also want to dominate!
Not convinced? If you don’t accept it, let’s have a fight!
My dear... No, I have a wise nephew, Wu Liang!
Why worry about the world being unfair?
"Marquis Quyang and all the generals, please see your Majesty!" the servant outside the door shouted.
King Chu Huai patted his fat belly and laughed!
"Come in! Come in quickly!"
"Your Majesty has an order to announce that Marquis Quyang and all the generals will appear before you!" The chamberlain at the door raised his voice in a high pitched voice.
Under the gaze of everyone with different meanings——
Xiong Wuliang was followed by Zhao Hua, leading Wu Ben and other warriors into the hall... But why was he still carrying a cumbersome wooden box? Could it be that some valuable national treasure-level trophies were captured and presented to the King of Chu in public?
All the ministers in the court frowned in confusion.
